Surrender of Alara

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

No evidence of non-trivial coverage in reliable sources. Of the six sources cited, four fail the verifiability guidelines: "Encyclopedia of Islam" is unclear; "Osman Turan" and "E. Merçil" give no results; and Claude Cahen wrote many books but none called 'Turks in Anatolia'. Of the remaining two, Ibn Bibi is a primary source cited without secondary justification, and Ali Öngül does not provide significant coverage. I can find no evidence for the events elsewhere; thus, the article fails WP:GNG. AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 19:58, 25 October 2022 (UTC) Relisting comment: Relisting.

 * Delete per nom. One of a series of problematic battle article with dubious sourcing and liberal interpretation. Mccapra (talk) 21:18, 25 October 2022 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * Delete. If the Siege of Kalonoros took place the year before and the lord of the castle gave it ten year later, then the dates are really messed up here. Anyway, even the event was real it was too small and local. --Suitskvarts (talk) 08:43, 2 November 2022 (UTC)
